SECT. VI. Municipal Law.

said in this, was not improbably forgotten. For cases sounds
when they have no sense belonging to them, it
takes trouble to remember. We are then told
that as to "a Statute or Act" (as the name given to a Law here)
so called) there needs no formal promulgation
to give it the force of a Law, as was necessary
he says by the civil Law the regard to the
Emperor's Edicts. Now if we want his reason
for it it is this. "Every man in England is
"in the judgment of Law, party to the making
"of an act of parliament, being present there at
by his representatives". Every man that is present
at the making of a Law has been told of it.
Every one of those representatives of the people that
have a right to "give their voice in making it
'was present. Every man who represents five
"thousand people is those five thousand people
"whom he represents. These the propositions things being
indubitable presumed, one sees how† † idle it is to require useless to a Law is a⊞ ⊞ such a thing as
"formal promulgation".‡ ‡ If this be judgment of Law (and not judgment of those who give their dreams for Law) one may say that Fire and water are not East and West are not to each other more at variance more distant than judgment of Law, & judgement of Common Sense. The like reasoning seemeth good also to Owen Ruffhead. Thus it is Tis thus that Law is
justified of her Children.
